Preparation

Step 1
Mix the first seven ingredients in a bowl. Boil the milk and cream together, add to the bowl, and mix again.
Step 2
Rub a suitable oven-proof dish with half the butter, arrange the potato mixture in the dish, sprinkle with the remaining cheese, and dot with the rest of the butter.
Step 3
Bake at 350 degrees until the potatoes are tender (about 1 hour). If the top is not browned, run the dish briefly under the broiler before serving.
